you just need a pair of H7s as they are combined due to the the DE module in the headlights

You only need 2 bulbs , the same single element bulb (H7) provides high and low beam.

Many threads about this.After fitting the uprated bulbs use the adjusters to raise the beams as far as possible without upsetting others on the road.

You will then find the lights have gone from abysmal to barely adequate.

I'm considering an hid conversion despite the legality issues.
